Meidas Responds to Murdoch’s Threats Against Us

By Ben Meiselas

How does it feel, Rupert? Is this what you wanted? When you and Lachlan ordered Fox executives to attack the MeidasTouch Network and “bring us to our knees,” is this what you expected? I warned you repeatedly to cease and desist or we would respond in a way that would thoroughly embarrass you and Fox. And here we are. We made good on our promise.

We just got the digital charts for views and engagement on Thanksgiving Day, Rupert. Fox came in fourth place on the YouTube charts across all genres. That’s respectable, I guess. MrBeast came in at number 2. But guess who was number 1, Rupert? Yup — the MeidasTouch Network.

You used your propaganda machine to try to blame Biden for the DC shooting. You thought your rage machine would get you views. We won with the truth and explained that the shooter was granted asylum by Trump in April 2025.

We also covered Trump’s disastrous press conference where he called a female reporter “stupid.” He then went on a rant at midnight and called the Governor of Minnesota “seriously retarded.”

Hey Rupert, your propaganda machine can try to defend the heinous invasive species that is Trump all you want, but the people are leaving you and him, and they are now becoming Meidas viewers.

It’s true that revenge is a dish best served cold. I guess you can say it’s all a dish best served with turkey, as the MeidasTouch Network made a powerful statement on Thanksgiving Day that not only would we not be destroyed by Rupert Murdoch’s billion-dollar machine, but that we would beat Murdoch in front of the entire world on one of the biggest days of the year.

Let’s run up the score, Meidas Mighty, and keep beating Murdoch and Fox every single day. By next Thanksgiving, I want to make it so it’s not even close and that the MeidasTouch Network doubles the views that Fox gets. On audio podcasts, we currently get more downloads than Joe Rogan and the next five top right-wing podcasts combined. I want our video views to be more than every cable and legacy news network combined. We can do it — and what an important change it will bring to this country.

Help us make a powerful statement to Murdoch right now and become a subscriber to this Substack if you aren’t already. We are 450 subscribers away from hitting the goal we need for this month, and I want to try and hit it today. You can gift subscriptions to people you know as well. Your subscriptions to this Substack have made a massive difference in the expansion of our network that you’ve seen, so let’s keep building. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and we will keep delivering the news content you want every single day.
